If anyone is still following this thread at all, the problem is occurring in the "printToTextArea" method. I guess it has something to do with my reference to the JTextArea?

Ok, that actually did not fix it, and I forgot that I haven't made it to that point in the program which is why I left it like that. And thanks copeg, but unfortunately it doesn't tell me where this...

wow, i guess I have overlooked that. I can't thank you enough. I'll let you know how it works out.

By the way, I forgot to mention that the Nullpointerexception occurs after I select a file via browse button, type in what i'm searching for, and hit start search button.

I can't figure out how to fix this null pointer exception and i've been going at it for a while now. Any help would be appreciated. I'm still a noob at this so go easy on some of the ways I did...

And thankyou for the advice darryl, I'll be sure to remember that and try it out next time.

Yea, i accidentally messed something up regarding the enter key but I got everything to work fine.

Everything worked great after another tweak or two so thanks again. Now I just have to get the action listener to respond to the enter key.

Awesome, thanks for all of the help. I will have to test it out a little later since I am in class but i will let you know if I have any more trouble. Thats a huge load off of my shoulders.

The Method GetDollarsField is undefined for the type CurrencyConverter. The error down at the bottom in my action listener class is: converter can not be resolved. I also forgot that I have an error...

Thanks for the reply. However that did not work and the errors didn't go away.

I need help getting my action listener. I searched around and got a lot of help but I still can't quite get my issue resolved. It needs to perform an action when the user hits enter in a JTextField...
